Short answer
Monitor your cortisol, melatonin and iron levels, practice good sleep hygiene, and consult your doctor if problems persist.
Problems falling asleep, frequent awakenings, or poor quality sleep can signal hidden problems in the body.
The mechanism in three steps, and where you can intervene.
Trigger
Stress, magnesium deficiency, circadian rhythm disorder or hormonal imbalance
Mechanism
Impaired melatonin and cortisol production, which affects sleep-wake cycles
Symptom
Insomnia, light sleep, daytime sleepiness, or frequent awakenings at night

A baseline panel for the most common causes.
Shows the level of stress hormone, which affects falling asleep and sleep quality
Iron deficiency may cause restless leg syndrome and disrupt sleep
Low levels are associated with circadian rhythm disturbances and insomnia
Check your thyroid function, as hypothyroidism can cause drowsiness
Magnesium deficiency contributes to increased anxiety and problems falling asleep
How each marker relates to sleep disorders.
The quality of sleep is affected by both physiological factors (hormonal disorders, micronutrient deficiency) and psychological factors (stress, anxiety). A common cause is disruption of melatonin production due to poor daily routine or excessive exposure to blue light in the evening. Problems may also be associated with apnea, restless legs syndrome, or chronic pain syndromes.
A cortisol test will show the level of stress on the body. Ferritin will detect possible iron deficiency, which is often accompanied by restless leg syndrome. Vitamin D and magnesium are important for regulating sleep cycles. TSH will help rule out problems with the thyroid gland. You can download the results of these analyzes into Axioris and track their dynamics.
Consultation with a specialist is necessary if sleep disturbances continue for more than a month, are accompanied by daytime sleepiness, memory loss or mood swings. It is especially important to seek help if you suspect apnea (snoring, sleep apnea) or if insomnia is affecting your quality of life.
A mistake is the uncontrolled use of sleeping pills without identifying the cause of the disorders. Also, many people underestimate the impact of evening use of gadgets and caffeine on the quality of sleep. It is important to remember that chronic lack of sleep can be a symptom of serious illnesses, and not just a consequence of stress.

Yes, magnesium, vitamin D and iron deficiencies are often associated with sleep disturbances. These nutrients are involved in the synthesis of melatonin and the functioning of the nervous system.
Elevated evening cortisol makes it difficult to fall asleep because this hormone activates the sympathetic nervous system. It is optimal when its level decreases in the evening.
Melatonin is effective for disorders associated with circadian rhythms (jet lag, shift work schedule). For other causes of insomnia, it may not give the expected effect.
Low ferritin (less than 50 mcg/L) can cause restless legs syndrome, which interferes with the process of falling asleep and leads to frequent awakenings.
It is recommended to monitor Cortisol (morning and evening), Fe (ferritin), D₃, Mg and TSH. The application will help you see the dynamics of these indicators and their relationship with sleep quality.
